Would it be possible to also melt old beer bottles? Trying to make recycle art.

If you're trying to get glass hot enough to pour into a mold or something.....not so sure this is for that kind of project. Also the pot is kind of small for it's 'weight capacity'....dealing with lead you know?

I have never tried, only used this with melted chocolate...it is a medium sturdy plastic so I think you maybe able to do it but keep in mind your ice cube will be a half mold of the figure. sorry not a huge help.

Yes. You can also use re-usable gel filled ice cubes in the trays instead of ice--which does melt.

I assume you can, but I did not have a chance to use them as they were delivered damaged beyond repair . I unfortunately realized this long after the time limit to return them. The plastic body is very thin, so I would test them out with a small amount first. Please check the necks of the bottles to ensure they are all intact . All 3 of mine arrived with tears in them. Good luck.

I wouldn't recommend freezing them. They are great bottles but freezing plastic is not a good idea.

I converted a freezer to a beer fermentation cooler with it. I don't see why you couldn't.

You could, but of course the ice would melt and your items would get wet. I recommend the slim, flat, square ice packs. Two fit in the bottom, then you can put more in-between things. Or try the flexible ice packs, or a combination of the two types.

Hi, I've only used this on liquor bottles and ones for oil/vin. They are cheap enough that you can find a use for them if it turns out not to fit a beer bottle.

I would think so, call the number of the company. They are very nice when I called to ask about reusing the bottle for storing water in frig. I just ordered my second bottle for my sweet old guy.

I never tried that but I doubt it. You can contact the maker. I spoke with them previously. Easy to find on the web.

Theoretically, yes. However, the material is plastic and the melting point is unknown. Also, you would be manipulating the light close to a potentially hot barrel.

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't try it. They are just plastic. I think they would melt. But they do a great job when used as intended. Good luck.

You can use your own glass of that rating. You can use glass of any rating they just say different ratings don't fuse as well. I have successfully fused broken beer bottle glass.

I wouldn't do it. Stainless steel retains the temperature in it, and if you touched the bottle with liquid inside it at say 120 degrees, you'd burn your hand. You might try heating liquids in the bottle by placing the bottle in a pan of hot water for awhile, but be careful. I've never tried it. Hope this helps. JC

Maybe. Of you could find the right sized file for the arc of the cutting surface. But the are so cheap I am not sure it would be worth it. The are all metal under the plastic handle and could be recycled.

I never tried that. That might make it work better. I really wouldn't buy the item. It realljy doesn't keep the bottle chilled well.
